Chapter 503.

Accompanied by a ”creaking” sound, the door that hadn’t been opened for many years was gently pushed open from the outside.

The room had long been dusty.

Entering the door was an eight-imperial table with a teapot and teacups on it.

The left side was the living quarters, and the right side was the study.

There was no partition, except for a few pillars supporting the beams, everything was all in full view.

A desk, a bookcase, a brush holder, an ink stone, a paperweight, a few volumes of books that may or may not have been read, were placed in a corner of the desk, the titles of the books already covered in dust.

There was a sword hanging on the wall, but it was only used for decoration.

There was also a table near the window, on which were brushes of various thicknesses, which seemed to be used for painting.

“The lady’s art of painting is the best in the world, and the devil has always cherished her ink paintings …… It’s only a pity that after a battle in the past years, they have all been lost.

“Well, there is only one left ……”

Tang Tianyuan said here and reached out to point at another wall.

There was a painting hanging on the wall, the years had withered the paper, and because it hadn’t been properly stored, one corner was already blurred, but it was still clear to see that it was two people, a man and a woman.

The man’s sword eyebrow and starry eyes, this is handsome near soft, but it gives a kind of wild scroll feeling.

As if there is no child in the eye, look at the world, I am the only one.

The person who made the painting is extremely exquisite, a turn, a fold, all the wonderful strokes of heaven, but also exquisite.

Between three or two strokes, the person’s demeanor had already been portrayed to the fullest.

Tang Shixiang and the others looked at the man’s face on the painting, and then looked at Jiang Ran, there was indeed a seven or eight percent resemblance.

It was just that Jiang Ran had less of that softness compared to him, and the lines of his face were more and more rigid.

Tang Yuyi looked at the woman again, but suddenly froze:

“This isn’t drawn by a person, is it? Father, how did Mrs. Qing Yang paint her like this?”

Jiang Ran has also long seen out, compared with the man, painting Mrs. Qingyang this person’s brush is much more green, in which there are many deletions and changes, but the overall barely passable.

Tang Tianyuan hesitated and said:

“You’ve read it right, Mrs. Qingyang’s painting, it’s a devilish pen.

“His martial arts skills are overwhelming, but in calligraphy and painting together is completely inferior to the lady’s amazing talent ……

“It can be said that there is a difference between clouds and mud.

“What you all see today, is already after the lady’s pen modification.”

Jiang Ran laughed dumbly:

“With him painted like this, how could Madam still agree to let him hang here?”

Tang Tianyuan nodded:

“Not only did madam agree, but she was also very cheerful …… because the demonic father was never willing to hand-describe the danqing, only madam could tell him to break his own rules.

“Certainly in the face of the world, he can not change his face, the lady has a headache, the devil father will be six gods ……

“Young Zun, I know you have understood all the past.

“Madam did once have a love affair with Broken Dongliu.

“But …… that love has long been cut off.

“No one in this world can force madam to do what she doesn’t want to do ……”

Jiang Ran didn’t speak, just nodded gently.

Inch by inch, his eyes traveled through the middle of this room.

He saw the tiger shoes and hats placed on the table, perhaps in preparation for his own growth.

He also saw the crib placed beside the bed.

The bedding on the bed, however, was laid out on the big bed.

It was probably a tiny child who did not want to sleep alone on this cot and insisted on sticking to his parents.

They had no choice but to carry him to the bed.

The crib was vacant, except for placing some knick-knacks, there was no other use for it.

When he saw this, Jiang Ran suddenly felt an indescribable odd taste in his heart.

Even if there was a thought in his heart telling him ……

All of this was Jiang Tianye and Lady Qingyang’s love and care for their son.

And not for him as a traveler.

But this body was owned by him, and since twenty years of years, it had long been impossible to divide each other.

Some things, too, had long since become indescribable.

He took a deep breath, then let it out in one long exhale:

“Tang clerk, trouble you to help me seek brooms and rags over, I want …… to clean up this room.”

“Yes.”

Elder Tang clasped his fists and arched his hands, turning to leave.

Tang Shiyi several people glanced at each other, and also remained silent, rolling up their arms and sleeves, intending to follow along and get busy.

It was also true that Tang Tianyuan didn’t just bring a broom, there was enough preparation.

Several people manually hand a hand, began to busy outside the clean up.

Just among them, most of them were okay, no matter if it was a sect, or a devil’s religion, they were not unappetizing.

The only one who didn’t eat the fire of the earth was the eldest princess.

She had grown up in fine clothes, when had she ever done these things?

Dazed and confused, what others do, she will follow what …… is also thanks to her practiced martial arts, nimble hands and feet, otherwise, maybe not clean up the anti-add to the chaos.

But spare so, is also tired of her sweaty.

Not clean up the room is too tired, but because follow others together busy, tired heart ……

During the process, from time to time, people came over to Jiang Ran to report.

There was the Duo Demon Underworld King who had calmed down and started joining in on the matter of cleaning up the Demon Sect’s General Altar.

There was also Liao Yu Xian who checked out the Shao Zun building and found some notes from past devils, asking Jiang Ran if he wanted to read them.

Tang Tianyuan, on the other hand, went to the Devil Scripture Cave, and after taking an inventory, it felt as if a few books were missing.

But overall, there was no loss.

After Jiang Ran heard about this matter, he told Tang Yingyi that he had won.

Tang Wuyi was unconvinced, saying that her own father had already checked, and with a few secret books missing, it was clear that this Demon Sect’s main altar was no longer intact, so it was her who won.

Jiang Ran naturally unconvinced ……

The two argued about this for a long time.

Finally Ye Jingxue also joined the melee.

Laughing, joking, fighting, tossing for a while before stopping.

To wait for the crowd to stop the work in hand, the sky is already dark.

A few young people who are not experts in the field have already cleaned the room spotlessly.

Jiang Ran at this time is carefully will that two people collaborated on the painting from the wall down.

Placing it in front of him, he was a bit tired of looking at it.

In the scroll, the woman was gently holding the man’s arm.

Eyes full of tenderness.

And the man, certainly wild manner, but look at the woman’s eyes, but so doting and helpless.

Jiang Ran looked and suddenly smiled.

Then he reached out and gently placed the scroll on the table:

“Turn around and find a few people who are good at repairing this object to come over and see if you can restore this scroll.”

Tang Yuyi didn’t have any hesitation and went directly to find someone.

When she waited to return, she pulled Jiang Ran and the others to dinner.

Today was the first time that many people from the Demon Sect had returned to the Demon Sect’s main altar after many years.

The evening was naturally a big feast.

There were not enough things in stock, so they took materials from the ground.

This place is after all a valley, even if it is full of birds and flowers, there are many poisonous insects and beasts.

Poisonous insects basically is Wu Di to deal with, can eat can not eat all packed up.

Beasts that will be casual ……

Who can not play a hunt?

Therefore, the dinner is somewhat sumptuous.

Bug feast …… all kinds of roasted meat …… vegetables and fruits are not, but there is good wine.

A random altar of wine from amongst the general altar of this devil religion was twenty years old.

With Jiang Ran presiding, this meal was naturally a happy ending.

At the end of the meal, Liao Yu Xian found Jiang Ran and said that logically, Jiang Ran should be resting at the Shao Zun Building tonight.

However, the Shao Zun Building wasn’t small, and it hadn’t been thoroughly cleaned yet.

So Jiang Ran could choose a place to sleep by himself.

Jiang Ran didn’t hesitate and directly chose to rest right in his parents’ room.

And when he was lying alone on the bed, staring at the enclosure tent, a song that he had never heard before faintly came to his ears.

It seemed to be real or phantom, if there was something.

I don t know if it comes from a very distant, very distant memory …… or from a drunken, imaginary thought.

Until the side of more than one person, he only then noticed that the voice in his ears has disappeared.

Looking down, he thought that the one who came would be Tang Shiyi.

It turned out to be Tang Painting Yi ……

The little girl looked at him without blinking.

“Look at me again and I’ll eat you up!”

Jiang Ran threatened in a low voice.

“It’s not certain who will eat who.”

Tang Yuyi hummed, “I was bullied by you like that in the tree that day, now that I’m here, I’m always not afraid of you.”

“Really scary ……”

Jiang Ran rolled over and rushed at her with his butt:

“Sleep, after rushing for such a long time, take a good rest.”

“Still pretending!”

Tang Yuyi sneered:

“You don’t have the heart of a thief but not the guts, do you? I’ve sent myself to the door, and you’re still not eating?”

Before she finished speaking, she felt her body sink.

Looking up, Jiang Ran’s face was just a stone’s throw away from her.

Tang Yuyi subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then closed her eyes for good.

Jiang Ran reached out and gently cupped her face:

“Afraid?”

“How could I be afraid …… oooh ……”

The latter words could no longer be said.

Like a gale, like a rainstorm, everything came faster than expected.

But when it really came to that moment, the gale was gentle, the rainstorm calmed down, and after a short period of gentleness, it became unbridled again.

……

……

Early in the morning, the sunlight spread into the room from the window, reflecting on Tang Yuyi’s face.

She yawned and opened her eyes, rubbing her eyes that were stung by the sunlight, as if she remembered something, she hurriedly turned back, only to find that Jiang Ran was no longer in the room.

His heart froze:

“Eaten up and ran away?”

“You’re the one who ran away.”

Jiang Ran’s voice came from the side of the bed.

Tang Yuyi rolled over and sat up, hastily covering her body with the quilt again.

“You know to cover up now? That boldness last night ……”

“Who was bold and presumptuous?”

“…… Who do you think?”

Jiang Ran looked back at her, then rolled up his sleeve and shook his arm:

“My Body Protector can barely stop your hypnotic claws …… This night has passed there are still three red marks on my arm, and my juniors aren’t necessarily what they look like yet.”

Tang Painting Yi blushed, bit her lip and said:

“That’s not because …… Forget it, don’t talk to you.

“What hour is it? If sister finds out that I stayed out at night ……”

“Poetry love has already come, see you sleep sweetly, so let you sleep a little more.”

Jiang Ran said casually.

“……”

Tang Shixiang was first a bit confused, followed by her eyes glaring round:

“What did you say!?”

“Didn’t hear you, then I’ll say it again ……”

“Oops, don’t say it!!!”

Tang Yuyi hurriedly covered her head with the quilt:

“Bad bad bad, no face to see people …… Aiya, how …… ah ah ah, where are my clothes on this bed? Jiang Ran, you …… you are shameless, where did my clothes go?”

“Right on the bed, all folded for you.”

Jiang Ran smiled but not laughed as he watched her busy herself on the bed.

Only after a while did she get off the bed.

Her mood also calmed down a lot, gritting her teeth and giving Jiang Ran a look:

“This matter, don’t say anything!”

“…… Isn’t this something you’ve been planning for a long time? Now how come it’s as if I took advantage of it.”

“That’s right, it’s true that I’ve been plotting for a long time, but even if it’s a triumph to publicize it everywhere, it should be me to publicize it, not you!!!”

Tang Yuyi said, and after humming again, she hurriedly headed out.

Just looking at her somewhat inconvenient appearance, Jiang Ran was a bit distressed, and wanted to get up to help her, but then she suddenly stopped her steps, turned back to the bed, and rolled up all the bedding on the bed, hugging it in her arms.

After noticing Jiang Ran’s gaze, she let out another ‘humph’:

“Don’t worry, from today onwards, you are my person.

“I will be responsible for you.”

“……”

Not waiting for Jiang Ran to reply, this time she really fell away.

“I was also planning to draw your eyebrows, I just don’t know if these will still work ……”

Jiang Ran cried and laughed as he put one of the pens down, and the corners of his mouth hooked up slightly.

According to what Tang Tianyuan had said yesterday, there was no need to go through a great deal of trouble for the Young Sovereign to succeed the throne.

All that was needed was to burn incense to the stone tablet that read ‘Heavenly Demon Great Self’ in the presence of a group of people from the Demon Sect and so on.

This matter is considered accomplished.

There was no need to pick an auspicious day or care about any red tape.

It sounded like child’s play, yet it was very much in line with the devil cult’s style of doing things.

Because Tang Yuyi woke up too late, Jiang Ran also ate breakfast rather late.

After finishing breakfast, it was almost noon.

When he arrived at the Heavenly Demon Great Selflessness small square, he saw that all the people from the Demon Sect who had followed him back to Questioning Specter Valley this time had already arrived.

At the same time, those who weren’t yet part of the Devil Cult but had already trusted their lives with Jiang Ran had also taken their places.

Tang Tianyuan stood there with a big belly and a smile on his face, looking at Jiang Ran who was walking towards him.

When Jiang Ran looked at him again, he felt a little embarrassed as well.

There was not yet a matchmaker’s words, nor a marriage ceremony, but as a result, both of his daughters had already fallen into his hands.

This is really the real father-in-law.

“Young Zun, the hour has arrived, it’s time to begin.”

Tang Tianyuan spoke softly, even if he forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart, his tone inevitably carried a trifle of agitation.

This was truly something he had been looking forward to for a long time.

Ever since Jiang Ran was adopted by the old drunkard, he had been looking forward to this day day and night.

Jiang Ran smiled faintly and looked up at the people present.

The people in the Devil Cult kneeled down on one knee one after another:

“See Young Sovereign!”

Jiang Ran stretched out his hand, and all of them got up.

When they came to the stone tablet that read ‘Heavenly Demon Great Freedom’, the incense burner that had collapsed had already been organized.

At this time, it was filled with fine incense, and the incense was flourishing.

Tang Tianyuan came to Jiang Ran’s side and reached out to send three large long incense sticks.

It was thick and large, not at all the same thing compared to the others’.

Jiang Ran took it, lit it on the candle flame, and gave a deep salute to the stone monument of the Heavenly Demon Great Self, following which he inserted these three joss sticks into the incense burner.

“The rite is complete!!!”

Tang Tianyuan shouted impatiently, followed by tears:

“After twenty years of years, my Demon Sect finally has a Demon Venerable again!

“Tang Tianyuan see Demon Eminence!!!”

“Ferry Demon Underworld King, see Demon Lord!”

“Wang Heng Wang Li, under the Ask the Heart Sect, see the Demon Lord!”

“Disciples under the Seven Emotions Hall, see the Devil Father!!!”

“……”

“……”

See the voice, a sound along with a sound, a silhouette kneeling down, although hindered by the presence of a limited number of devil experts, but because of the extraordinary martial arts, so the momentum is also extremely large.

Jiang Ran reached out his hand:

“Be excused!”

The crowd immediately stood up.

Tang Shixiang then came over with a tray with two items on it.

One was a set of clothes, pitch-black in color, and a hat of the same color with an odd shape.

“This is the Heavenly Demon Clothes and the Heavenly Demon Order!”

Tang Shixiang said softly:

“It should have been sent to you by the Holy Maiden …… It’s just that Yi Yi isn’t too convenient right now, and if she embarrasses herself in front of people, I’m worried that she won’t be able to get down, so I’ll be the one to overstep my bounds.”

Jiang Ran nodded gently and put away the Heavenly Demon Order.

Tang Shiyi, on the other hand, handed the tray to a demonic woman at her side, and subsequently gave Jiang Ran this Heavenly Demon Clothes to put on.

Carefully fastening every button.

And then she put the hat on him.

All of this was over.

The succession of the Devil Cult’s Devil Sovereign was supposed to be all about simplicity.

Tang Tianyuan then said softly:

“Devil Sovereign, today is a rare opportunity, say a few words to everyone.”

Jiang Ran nodded and looked at the people present, saying softly:

“Today, as I, Your Holiness, succeeds to the position of Devil Sovereign, I have three things to say to all of you.

“The first ……

“For the past twenty years, my Demon Sect has been falling apart, and the main reason for this is because the dragons have no leader.

“From today onwards, with the Heavenly Demon Order as a signal, this reverend will gather all the disciples of the Devil Cult in the Three Mountains, Four Seas, Six Heavens, and Eight Wastes to arrive at the Golden Cicada as many as they can to reunite with us!”

“Respectfully obey the order of the Demon Eminence!!!”

“The second thing ……

“For hundreds of years, my Demon Sect has often had shocking things happen because of its maverick behavior, pursuing what is in its heart and disregarding the world.

“Since this father has ascended to the position of Devil Father of the Devil Sect, he shall repair the ills of my Devil Sect for hundreds of years.

“From today onwards …… this respect to my magic religion set up a rule ……”

Once this statement came out, all the people present were looking at each other.

The Heavenly Devil’s great freedom, originally there is no rule that can bind.

Wouldn’t it be contrary to the teachings of the Devil Cult for the Devil Sovereign to make a rule?

Jiang Ran stretched out a finger and said:

“This rule is …… not to kill innocents indiscriminately!

“Violators shall be punished with the Six Desires Burning Heart!

“Do you wish to honor it?”

“Dare I ask your honor, what is innocence?”

“Those who have not harmed our Demon Sect, those who have not harmed our friends and family, those who have no connection with us, those who have not harmed the heavens and the earth.

“May be called innocent people.”

The crowd nodded their heads, and then droned in unison:

“We are willing to comply!!!”

When Chu Yuniang’s eyes saw this scene, her eyes were flooded with a complex color.
